Ed Sheeran has opened up on his experiences with bullies at school and admitted it's made him the person he is today.

The 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You' star told Take 40 that the trauma endured as a youngster can end up being positive.

"I think everyone goes through a bit of bullying at school. Of course you get picked on for certain things, but I think it ends up being a positive," he told the website.

"I was quite a weird kid when I was little, I wore big glasses, had hearing problems, had a stutter and I had ginger hair, but I am now a successful musician and I have nothing to complain about.

"So I have come out the other end and blossomed."

The 'Give Me Love' singer also revealed how his appearance was his "saving grace" as a musician because it enabled people to find him easily.

"Being ginger can seem like a bad thing when you are young but as a musician it has been my saving grace – because if you see a ginger kid on TV and there is only one messy-haired ginger kid who plays guitar, it is very easy to find them on YouTube," he said.

Speaking about how he has overcome the issues, he added: "I am now a successful musician and I have nothing to complain about.

He also opened up about running into some of those same people who had picked on him as a child.

"When I went home and went to the pub and saw the people who used to be d**** at school, it's kind of depressing. They not only haven't done anything but they don't know that there is anything out there.

''They are so stuck in their little world. So I feel sad for them - they are kind of being bullied by life.''
